I’ve just come across this on emails and filled it in to suggest the cash back promotions be made permanent. My thinking in sharing this on here is to organise enough ‘consumer feedback’ that the 10% cash back is made permanent (/whatever rate). 10% cashback on 23 away games / 2-3 cup games...

The game is gone. This time we mean it!

There’s one problem with this… the Human Rights Act which enshrines the ECHR and its court’s rulings. Therefore, this would infringe on the ‘right to a family life’. Correct me if I’m wrong, you don’t seem to have had the revelation that we should the ECHR. Right wing economics? Explain. The...

He’s the type of signing you’d make if we got promoted. We’ve got a good defensive record, Wolf and Lati as 3rd and 4th choice… barring something mental happening between now and Jan, there’s no pressing need for another. The pressing needs are wide players where the injury risk increases the...

That isn’t what I said. They said there were those profession on their specific boat. The way this issue is presented, it’s made out that there are doctors and engineers on every small boat. Hence, that’s where the jeer comes from. Before everyone could see small boats coming and going on a...

That seems a bit optimistic at this stage but I remember my own playoff points prediction being quite low and was v accurate. In fairness to you, Sunderland and Sheff U were overperforming their xG last season but were followed by Leeds and Burnley, who also over performed xG. The top 3 teams...

You keep going back to the conventions. They’re not legally binding so if we have to suspend/withdraw from them, that’s what we need to do. In any case, most of the points do not contravene these conventions. What do you have in mind when you made this point? Australia has signed the 1951...

Co’mon now, use your noggin. If you deny the foreign spouse access into the country… they can’t settle down. There’s no point banning the marriages per se because people will find a loophole. For example, an Islamic marriage (the same for most religions) is religious ceremony, not legal one.

I’m not in favour of privatising everything. There are good arguments for nationalised train services supported by private services. Well, the immigration system is being abused in the name of ‘family reunification and right to family life’. In practice, a lot of communities will go back to...

Who’s actually verified that and as a %, is it representative? No. The Guardian are presenting this issue in an underhand way imo. The quote is implicitly misleading because it’s taking the exception to justify making it the rule [to accept small boats]. There will be a small % of high skill...

It’s common for the UK to have this mongrel set up of half in and half out nationalisation/privstisation. Generally, you get the worst of both worlds. Take the trains for example, in practice it is privatised because it’s run by a private company different franchises but the government owns...

“Among the refugees are doctors, engineers, scientists and journalists such as myself who led stable and successful lives until we were forced to flee to survive.” To save you trawling through the article...

Canada and Australia have socialised insurance systems. We’re one of the only countries where healthcare is completely socialised, all the healthcare workers are government employees and the buildings are owned by the government. As of right now, I just think that’s too much to be responsible...

Do you think importing labour from low income countries is conducive for wage growth? What causes wage growth? Typically the market corrects itself when it’s competing for labour. Remember the HGV driver shortage a few years ago? Wages spiked. In any case, the government is in all sorts of...

Migrant arrives aged 25 to retirement (modelled up to 100)… how much tax they pay v cost of public services they consume. Frankly speaking, the costs seem to focus on the pensions. I’m note entirely sure how they modelled the exact costings of schooling (migrants have children too) and the NHS...

Increase funding to train more domestically and scale down the need to import the labour. You can’t justify the immigration system on the NHS. Particularly when the government is cutting funding for training spaces and trainee roles in the NHS, such as nurses and doctors. Why do you and others...

In what sense?

Have you never admired Denmark’s public services? If not, my bad. To answer the question, yes. They also make it v clear that asylum is a temporary arrangement. In the UK, once an asylum claim is accepted, it is effectively a pathway to permanent settlement (ILR) and therefore, your children...

It’s a legacy of countries with massive flows of net negative migration. The Irish and Italian diasporas led to huge population declines in those countries. At a guess, I’d assume Albania has a similar law because its diaspora outnumbers the population of Albania itself*. In the context of...

To you, it was on migration more broadly. To @chiefdave it was a specific mentioned on illegal migration which is primarily driven by small boats. To broaden the scope of my answer, they should deny asylum requests to people who originally arrived on another visa e.g. student visa. This makes...
